What of these cultures made major contributions to astronomy?

Answer 1

There have been many significant developments in astronomy. If you are asking about the two most important, then I suggest you consider the development of the telescope by unknown opticians in Belgium, and the wide adoption of the Copernican theory of a Sun-centered solar system.

There are a number of other developments that are probably almost as important; perhaps some of the other folks here can suggest some.

Answer 2

Babylonian astronomy was important in terms of the functioning of the state and for the king. Celestial phenomena were tracked and recorded, as well as events that happened on Earth that corresponded with those phenomena. In doing so, Babylonian astronomers created a respotiory of known omens, so that the king could take action against whatever the sky predicted would happen. They were able to create an accurate astronomical table so they could know what was happening in the sky even if it was obscured and were also able to notice when something happened in the sky that was out of the ordinary or against know patterns.

Answer 3

We'll make you a deal: instead of just typing your homework questions in verbatim, spend half a minute thinking about what kind of information we'd need to have to answer it (hint: it would help if we knew what "these cultures" were), and then we'll consider actually answering you.

Answer 4

Babylonians excelled in astronomy and math.

Answer 5

One I know is the invention of the telescope

Answer 6

They were the first to divide a circle into 360 degrees so that angles could be measured, and they made the first recorded observations of things in the sky.

Answer 7

Newton theoretically and Hubble observationally( natural experiments).

Answer 8

every culture has made some contribution to astronomy.

Answer 9

Newton's Theory of Gravity and Newton's Reflective Telescope are two major achievements in astronomy.
